Therefore, if the dog carrying rabies virus licks the wound of the body, the virus is likely to invade the human body through the wound, causing virus infection.

The dog's mouth is warm and moist, and it can easily become a culture dish for all kinds of bacteria. It contains a lot of bacteria, especially the 'dog bites carbon dioxide fibrophilic bacteria'. Basically, 3 / 4 of the dog's mouth will have this kind of bacteria.
Therefore, after the dog licks the wound or the mucous membrane of the face, the dog bites the carbon dioxide fibrophilic bacteria and invades the human body, which may cause serious septicemia.
